Federal Issues in Brief:
Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs)  |
| The Issue |
| Some aspects of the proposed reform of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Federal Home Loan Banks could hamper the housing mission of these institutions. |
 |
|
| What This Means for You |
| The nation’s housing finance system, held up in large part by the GSEs, gives more Americans access to mortgage credit and helps the real estate industry grow. |
|
|
| Where it Stands Now |
| On October 26, 2005, the House passed H.R. 1461, to create a single, independent regulator to oversee the activities of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Banks. |
